1 It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom one hundred twenty local governors, who should be throughout the whole kingdom; It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom 120 satraps, to be throughout the whole kingdom; It pleased Darius to appoint 120 satraps to rule throughout the kingdom,
2 and over them three presidents, of whom Daniel was one, that these local governors might give account to them, and that the king should suffer no loss. and over them three high officials, of whom Daniel was one, to whom these satraps should give account, so that the king might suffer no loss. with three administrators over them, one of whom was Daniel. The satraps were made accountable to them so that the king might not suffer loss.
3 Then this Daniel was distinguished above the presidents and the local governors, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm. Then this Daniel became distinguished above all the other high officials and satraps, because an excellent spirit was in him. And the king planned to set him over the whole kingdom. Now Daniel so distinguished himself among the administrators and the satraps by his exceptional qualities that the king planned to set him over the whole kingdom.
